Topic: Vilkas doesn't get out much: a hilarious moment in Skyrim

[Lumi Kløvstad]

The best-worst thing about playing Skyrim after all this time is doing factions in a flow outside what the game intended. Like, it’s fairly obvious that the Companions were always meant to be the first faction you joined, which leads to some hilarious moments of idiot-ball-carrying if you DIDN’T join them straight away and… did stuff first.

I only joined them AFTER I already killed Alduin, exterminated Lord Harkon and his court, defeated Miraak, assassinated the Emperor, and singlehandedly won the Civil War, and so when I went to FINALLY join the Companions, Vilkas treated my Dragonborn to this little gem that suddenly becomes that much more hilarious: “But master, I’ve never even heard of this outsider.”

Meanwhile, I’m just standing there like “Really bro? Dragonborn? Vanquisher of Alduin World-Eater? Thane of the city you live in? Unifier of Skyrim? He who sacked the city you live in, and the City of Solitude and beheaded General Tullius? Exterminator of the vampire menace? They sing songs about me in every pub from here to High Rock. You haven’t heard of me at all, fam?”

And if you’re one of those who had already joined but have neglected the early quests, Skjor will simply keep saying “you still need to prove yourself, whelp.”

Not sure which is worse.

That's Bethesda for you. Despite what Tod Howard has stated in the past about taking their time to do games right (which I don't believe they do), the people there don't polish the games or do the fine tuning before releasing it to retailers. And as such the games are riddled with bugs, incomplete quests, retaining beta test graphics,.. I could go on with the list but I'll just stop here  But ultimately it is left to the modding community who are willing to fix what is broken or incomplete.

Bottom line is: Bethesda needs to get their s**t together. Although, however bad they seem to be with making games, so far they've been lucky that we still end up buying them because, on the plus side, they're fun to play.
